Swix Scraper Sharpener

Gets the job done. Could be easier to pop the file out. Find it works well when I sharpen the scraper on both its side as well as right side up.

Had one of these for a while - serves it's purpose but find the upgrade to the slightly better model makes a big difference in how well it works and the longevity of your scraper. This mini one tends to leave some file bumps given the scrapper is not as locked in as it is in the full feature version.

I've had one of these screwed down onto my wooden workbench since our house was built in 2006. The orientation should be like that shown in my picture, with the vertical guide closest to you.
The only drawback to this design is that the scraper might develop somewhat of a concavity over time, as the tendency is to sharpen more of the middle of the scraper edge's length.
Another approach is to use a sander on your scraper edge, but that of course entails placing your scraper in a vise then getting out your sander (assuming you already have a sander). For a quick refresh though of the scraper edge, this Swix tool is perfect.
And for anyone wondering whether scraper sharpening is the ultimate in gear obsession, not really: the time spent refreshing a scraper edge is far less than the extra time spent scraping off wax with a dull scraper.

Sometimes gets gummed up, but overall an excellent tool to keep screwed to the workbench. A sharp scraper makes waxing a pleasure rather than a pain, and this is a simple and cost-effective way to make em sharp.
